About the Book:
Battles of Our Own is a remarkable Indian industrial novel by Jagadish Mohanty, winner of the 1990 Odisha Sahitya Akademi Award. Set in the fictional Tarbahar Colliery—modeled on the historic Himgiri Rampur coal mine in western Odisha—the novel immerses readers in a harsh, dangerous world where coal is extracted and human lives intersect with nature and industry. Mohanty masterfully portrays the tensions between trade unions and management, internal rivalries, and secret deals, crafting a nuanced narrative that goes beyond the traditional worker-master dichotomy. This evocative work, sensitively translated by Himansu S. Mohapatra and Paul St-Pierre, captures the grit, beauty, and tragedy of an industrial underworld, making it a powerful exploration of human resilience, conflict, and the complexities of modern life in India.
